EUCONNUS. 
Cr 
Os 
Hab. Guatemata, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Antenne elongate; second joint very long, the third joint small, only about half the 
size of the fourth; joints 4-6 subequal; the seventh joint a little broader, much longer 
than wide; the eighth rather broader, but scarcely so long, its apical portion a little 
attenuate; the ninth similar in form but slightly broader ; the tenth larger, longer, and 
broader; the terminal joint elongate, acuminate. Head very long, regularly narrowed 
behind, only very sparingly pubescent. ‘Thorax more globose than usual in the genus, 
longer than broad; rather densely pubescent at the sides, bare on the disc, and with a 
fine transverse channel close to the base. Elytra convex, sparsely pubescent, almost 
destitute of intrahumeral depression. Pectoral lamina very long and slender. 
This remarkable little insect is unique. Although the thoracic channel is placed 
very near the hind margin it undoubtedly exists. 
18. Huconnus excavatus. (Tab. II. fig. 8.) 
Rufus, capite prothoraceque rufo-obscuris, pube minus elongata suberecta sat dense vestitus ; antennis crassi- 
usculis, clava quinque-articulata, articulo ultimo brevi; prothorace ante basin utrinque foveolato, ad basin 
externe breviter plicato ; elytrorum humeris brevissime elevatis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chinandega (Sa//é). 
This species is readily distinguished by the structure of the antenne, and by the fact 
that each flank of the thorax is marked by a depression concealed from above by a small 
but sharp prominence. The sixth joint of the antenne is a little larger than the fifth, 
and the seventh is about equal to the eighth, joints 8-10 being each transverse, and 
the terminal joint unusually short. The head is densely pubescent, with much elevated 
vertex. The thorax is subquadrate and is distinctly foveate on each side, and its 
peculiar construction is distinctly visible on each side at the base. The elytra are 
rather elongate and narrow, with rather short distinct pubescence. 
Two examples. I do not think there is any thoracic carinule, although the side at 
the base is very sharply deflexed. 
19. Euconnus distans. 
Minimus, rufo-castaneus ; antennis parvis, clava tri-articulata; prothorace conico-oblongo, basi transversim 
impresso.

Long. 1;/; millim. 
Hab. GuateMata, Torola (Champion). 
Antenne with joints 3-7 minute and slender, the eighth joint a little broader, the 
ninth and tenth much broader, transverse, the terminal joint short. Head rather long 
and narrow, with but little pubescence. Thorax slender, hirsute ; with a deep transverse 
impression in front of the base, the impression only slightly interrupted in the middle.
